Introduction

Purpose: An Archeological Dig is a process that utilizes various tools and strategies to conduct an intensive search to identify, locate, and engage family members, kin, and other individuals in a child or youth’s past that could potentially provide a permanent home or lifelong connection. Archeological Digs are used when a child/youth has not established legal permanency.

This tool is designed to assist the child’s worker when reviewing the child and family case record for potential permanent placement resources, individuals who could assist in identifying placement resources, or individuals who might serve as ongoing supports to the child.

In addition, the tool collects information helpful in the development of the child's Lifebook, background information for formal presentations, full disclosure forms and subsidy documents.

Therefore, a single thorough review of the child and family case records can serve to satisfy several case management responsibilities. More importantly, after a meticulous review of the case record, the members of the child’s permanency team become more knowledgeable regarding the child and are better equipped to identify a family to meet the child's lifelong needs.

Directions:

1. Obtain the child and family’s case record.

2. In an organized fashion, review each piece of paper in the case record.

3. As critical information is uncovered, record it on the appropriate section of this tool.

4. Once the case record review is completed, analyze the tool and identify potential placement resources, supports, or individuals who could be utilized as members of the recruitment team.
